Whenever you scratch your head when puzzled or frustrated that's pure monkey.

State regulated zoos & sanctuaries are saving these species. Many zoos have breeding programs. The regulated state licensed zoos have large natural terrain for the animals. Thank God we have places that help our dimishing wild life. Pls visit a zoo, or sanctuary that adheres to laws. The animals are with their own kind. Well cared for.

    @@ChooseCompassion That, indeed, would be a wonderful thing. But, a knowledgeable and professional zoo with trained caretakers that has enough room for a gorilla family or families can be a more safe, compassionate, and caring environment than the big bad open world of the most voracious killers on earth - humans. Gorillas are endangered and must be protected from poachers who kill the gorillas in order to sell body parts (like hands for ashtrays) to collectors or sell the babies to people who keep them in their private "zoos" for their amusement. Due to current conditions, people now live in the same areas as the gorillas. People need to eat and so they deforest the land to plant food crops for themselves which removes the food source for the gorillas. People have families to feed, clothes, and house and those needs have led people to kill gorillas for their family to consume or to sell the butchered gorilla parts as bush meat. Until the ever-increasing numbers of people can find a way to live in the same area in harmony with gorillas AND other animals, zoos and no-kill reserves (some have established a tourist opportunity) will be required in order to preserve the existence of these magnificent beings.

I’m quite impressed, because it seems Shabani isn’t very fond us humans, as he usually keeps his distance and encourages the troop to do the same. You must be doing a wonderful job there at the zoo for the world-famous Shabani to have accepted your presence!!! Congratulations 😊
